“I frequent this hobby/train store for literally everything. Nice amount of military model kits in most scales, with good paint and glue selection. They have a great rolling stock selection, with good deals if you buy a few train cars at once. Nice selection of locomotives. (My layout is HO scale so that's all I really notice.) The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and easy to talk with for hobbyists of any level. This is a great small hobby/train shop.”

“First time at the new location and loved it. The ambiance, the service and the new lower prices made for a very full experience. Sean was a great concierge through the entire experience. And it didn't hurt that I pulled the second most valuable RC autograph in the product.”

“This place is a really cool spot. The owner and his staff are very knowledgeable and most importantly, Honest. There are so many people out there who lie to you and rip you off but not here. You can trust what you’re being told. If you have something to sell, you can trust that you’re going to get what it’s actually worth. These guys are the best and it is the only place I go.”

“This store is amazing for the items in stock and the good prices. There is a huge selection of anything that you can think of for any scale model trains. They have a large helpful staff who are willing to help you find any particular item and good advice and tips for the hobby.”

“Went in today just to explore and look around. Was welcomed and greeted by a nice and friendly staff. Walked out leaving with some great coins at a fair price. Great first visit to this store. Definitely will be stopping by more often!”

“I cannot say enough good things about George or my experience at Pennies, Pounds and Pesos. If you have coins, do not trade them in at a metal dealer, jewelry store, or a "we buy silver and gold" place. George will be honest with you, and if the coins are worth more as coins rather than melted down, he will give you a fair price. If they are simply worth the melt down cost, he'll give you a fair price for that too. And if they happen to simply be worth face value, he'll even take them in rather than you having to go to the bank to deposit them.I have been selling a lot of things at a lot of different places lately, and George is honestly the only one that I actually felt I could trust.”

“Smaller shop with some wall books and back issues for collectors - or just to fill out your reader books. Friendly and knowledgeable owner willing to answer questions. Good Sunday hours when most other comic shops are closed.”

“Tony was the third stop our family made in its efforts to sell my father's coin collection. He gave us respect and courtesy, as well as a fair price. Highly recommend this business. Should have gone to him in the first place.”

“At 2519 USCF Tom is 2nd best chess player in PA and 71st best nationally. A strong mind to teach you the nuances of the game, especially at a fraction of the rate of lesser skilled yet name brand tutors. I still think I can beat him when he is blindfolded with a time disadvantage and distracted by phone calls. I've lost 15 times so far but I think I had a good attacking position for a turn or two.”

“Great place for miniatures for your D&D type game. The owner will paint them for you if you want as well. He has some talent. I normally don't consider miniatures, but one really "called out to me" that looked like my D&D character "Donnie Darko" after playing with it with D&D there ages ago. I ended up not getting it unfortunately because I would've had to buy 4 miniatures because they came in a series pack, and I didn't want the other three. So, I just stuck with buying snacks there. But it is a great place to look for well crafted figurines and such.”

“First visit today. Much more reasonable prices on retail than others and frankly, with some products retail is the way.Awesome store. Jerseys, balls, punks, autos, cards. Feel like a kid.Both gentlemen were very helpful and nice. No insecure owner vibe. Just watching 7the Phils.”

“This place was fully stocked. However, it was not fully staffed! But, the youngman Harry did an awesome job helping myself and other customers the best that he could while also maintaining the front-end for checkout!”

“I'm here two to three times a week. The store is a friendly environment that does many events. Tyler is awesome, and the Tuesday and Friday commander nights make my week.”

“The store is usually a bit disorganized, but they have a great selection. And it's not Hobby Lobby, so that's a bonus. Also - Michael's ALWAYS has daily coupons on their website that give you 20-30% off of your entire order.”

“Horrible. I really hate this store. There are NEVER enough cashiers working. It takes another cashier almost 15 minutes to come assist ,meanwhile the line is getting longer and longer. I will never return to the one on City Ave.”

“I love Michael's because of the great deals and products they carry. However I like this location because of the people that work here and the convenience of the area. The workers in here are friendly and quite knowledgeable about where things are located in the store and on certain topics too. That's a big thing for me! If you do crafting or like to make things once in a while this is one of the best places to go outside of a hobby shop!”
“I have only been to this place once but WOW!!!! This place was amazing. First off, Vaughn, the staff person that was there, was amazing! He was friendly and so welcoming, especially with the younger customers. Lots and lots of comics and graphic novels! This place also has a great selection of Warhammer minis and tables to play at. There was a ton of terrain. If you are in Chester, or visiting Philadelphia, come here. You won’t be disappointed!”
